The nutritional support through an enteral route in patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, may be affected by the digestive alterations derived from the non-autonomic affliction. Even though the percutaneous endoscopic gastro-jejunostomy is still an infrequent technique in intensive-care units, its use in certain patients may ease the application of enteral nutrition. We present a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, treated with enteral nutrition in an ICU during 100 days, 85 of which were by means of a gastro-jejunostomy tube, with good results.
